> This business of ethnic cleansing is not a new thing here in Europe.
Turks did it to the Greeks of Balck Sea. There were Greeks on the black Sea for over 4000 years and in 1921 Turks emptied entire cities
and send all back to the mainland Greece!

My grandparents included.

> Simultenously, Greeks emptied the Tharace and Macedonia of its Turkish population!

So how come there are 300,000 Turks in Thrace with plenty of mosques to practice their religion now with a Turk representative in the Greek parliament and there is less than 2,000 Greeks left in Konstantinople and just a few churces left in all of Turkey?

> It seems to me this is almost a Eurpoean vice!!

At least it's better than Rwanda Style ethnic cleansing<g>

Yaacov, Good point-Europe is overpopulated and land is precious. Don't forget Turkish expulsions of Armenians in 1903-1917 and Russian liquidation of Volga German populations in 1930's....Recently Azerbaijan persecuted and forced out all Armenians from Baku, Azerbaijan and surrounding areas....
